One of the new owners of historic Lorne House in Castletown says he has wanted the property for years.
Property developer Roy Tilleard says the jobs of staff at Lorne House Trust will be protected and the idea is to expand the business.
The former Governor's home is to become the headquarters for Mr Tilleard's international business interests and, in due course, his home.
He says restoration is top of his agenda (audio file attached):
